Maria Venus Bayonito Raj-Orillan (/rɑːdʒ/; Tagalog pronunciation: [ɾah, ɾadʒ]; born July 7, 1988) is a Filipino actress, model, and beauty pageant titleholder who was crowned Binibining Pilipinas Universe 2010. She represented the Philippines at the Miss Universe 2010 pageant and placed 4th Runner-up.
Raj placed as fourth runner-up in 59th Miss Universe pageant, where she is known for her answer "Major Major". Amongst the Filipino pageantry world, she is regarded as the “drought-breaker,” after breaking the Philippines’ 10 year unplacement streak in Miss Universe since 2000.
Maria Venus Bayonito Raj was born in Doha, Qatar, to an Indian-American father and a Filipino mother, the youngest of five children. She came to the Philippines while still an infant and was raised in Bato, Camarines Sur.
For the first two decades of her life, Raj lived in a nipa hut made of wood, bamboo and anahaw leaves, with no electricity, in the middle of a sprawling rice field. She allegedly used rice paddy dikes for her early training, where she eventually developed her distinctive walk.
Raj started out by joining local beauty pageants, as well as oratorical contests at San Vicente High School, where her English teacher served as her coach. Using the prize money won in major contests, she then bought land on an installment basis for her mother to help improve their livelihood.
Raj obtained her bachelor's degree in communication arts, major in journalism, at Bicol University in Legazpi, Albay, with Latin honors (cum laude). She graduated through the scholarship that she received from the Francis Papica Foundation. She initially worked as an Information Assistant for the Department of Environment and Natural Resources for Bicol Region. It was at this time that she also worked as a part-time fashion model in both her native Bicol and Manila.
In 2017, Raj completed her master's degree in community development from the University of the Philippines Diliman.
In June 2021, Raj graduated from Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics (OCCA), Oxford, England.
